Remove Image Metadata
Strip EXIF, GPS, camera and software tags from your images — without changing quality or dimensions.
Why remove metadata?
Remove location & personal data.
We byte-strip JPG & PNG so size stays close to the original.
No resize, no recompress when stripping in place.
Perfect for web, email & social media.
Frequently asked questions
Does this actually remove GPS location?+
Yes. When we re-encode the image through a browser canvas, the resulting file contains no EXIF block, so GPS, camera model, date taken and orientation tags are removed.
Will it change the image quality?+
We re-encode at high quality (0.95 for JPG/WEBP). PNG is lossless and looks identical. JPG and WEBP may be a tiny fraction of a percent different — invisible to the eye.
What metadata cannot be removed?+
Pixel-level watermarks or visible captions baked into the picture are not metadata and cannot be removed by this tool. Use the Blur Image tool for visible details.
Does it support HEIC?+
HEIC files should be converted to JPG or PNG first using our HEIC to JPG tool. The re-encode then strips all metadata.
Is it really private?+
Yes. The entire process runs in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded, logged or stored.
